The Eco-Logic Awards are open for entries up until the end of June 2013, but the sooner you enter, the more time we will have to really get to understand and appreciate the qualities of your entry!

The Eco-Logic Awards will be celebrated in association with SABC3 again in September 2013. The ceremony will be hosted by The Enviropaedia at a ‘Gloriously Green Celebration’ where Finalists and Winners will be recognised, rewarded and given great media exposure for their Earth-supportive efforts, products and services.

Consistent with The Enviropaedia strategy since their first publication in 2000, The Eco-Logic Awards’ intention is to identify and promote constructive solutions to our environmental challenges (whether these be via individuals, consultants, products, services or any other credible and realistic programme or initiative).

Empowering people and organisations to find workable solutions to the environmental challenges we face is an essential role to play. This strategy specifically includes encouraging individuals to become members and supporters of environmental organisations.

The two previous Eco-Logic Awards have proved to be highly popular and successful and as a result, SABC3 are willing to give much more TV coverage to this year’s Awards. This can only be a good thing for the finalists and winners, many of whom desperately need increased public awareness and support for what they are doing.
